Accidentally In Love (Joe Burrow)

Chapter 10 - New Man

(y/n's pov)

I rolled over to see Joe... then realized.

Oh.

I wanted to cry.. but at this point I don't think I have any tears left to cry.

I had been crying every second since I broke up with Joe.

I knew it was for the best, and I was better off.

But I realized that I had never experienced Cincinnati without Joe.

I was like a lost kid in the city.

I missed Joe so much.

But I was kinda excited to be single.

I was sitting in bed thinking when I got a text from a unknown number.

"Hey this is Tyler. Maddie gave me your number, I was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner tonight" - Tyler

Oh wow.

Tyler was cute, I'll admit it.

But I didn't want to hurt Maddie... since she like him.

I texted her.

"Hey mads. Tyler texted me, and asked me out... I won't do it if you don't want me to"
- You

"Girl you deserve it! Go get your man, you need this." - Maddie

"Are you sure?" - You

"YES, NOW STOP STALLING" - Maddie

"Okay bye!" - You

"Bye girl" - Maddie

You texted Tyler.

"I would love to, Tyler." - You

"Great, I'll pick you up at your house at 7:00"
- Tyler

"Okay see you then" - You

I had a date!

(Joes pov)

It's been a week since the breakup.

I've laid in bed the whole time.

Only getting up, to use the bathroom, and on good days possibly to get food.

Most of my teammates have called and texted but I didn't answer.

I didn't want to.

The only person who's voice I wanted to hear was y/n's.

I can't picture myself with anyone else.

I really can't.

I looked at my nightstand and saw the ring.

It felt weird to return it, so I kept it.

I didn't know what to do with it yet, but I was keeping it.

I haven't eaten in a good day and a half so I got weekly and walked into the kitchen to make a sandwich.

It felt good to eat.

Felt like I was a step closer to recovery from my broken heart.

(y/n's pov)

It was 5 pm and I was getting ready for my date.

I wanted to make sure I looked perfect.

So I could impress Tyler.

I really liked him.

I hope he felt the same.

...

I was wrapping up getting ready, and putting on the finishing touches to my hair and makeup, when I heard the doorbell ring.
